An FSS is a type of service that uses geosynchronous satellites to broadcast through TV and radio, telecommunications, and satellite communication that are used by governments, military organizations, small and large enterprises, and other end-users. It can provide information to intelligence and security organizations. FSS is classified into wholesale services and managed services. The satellites used for FSS have low-power output and require larger dish-style antennas than direct broadcasting satellites. FSS works with bands such as C-band, Ku-band, and Ka-band.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global fixed satellite service (FSS) market to grow at a CAGR of 5.70% during the period 2016-2020.

Press Release

Technavio Announces the Publication of its Research Report – Global Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) Market 2016-2020

Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio’s team said: “One of the key trends for market growth will be provision of value-added services by FSS operators. FSS operators are adopting business models that enable them to offer value-enhanced services such as uplink services, teleports, private networks through VSATs, and data multicasting to their customers. Operators either enter into partnerships or purchase ground stations across the globe to offer these services. Operators are selling end-to-end solutions instead of transponder capacity. FSS operators can manage IP-based services such as IP trunking and broadband.”

According to the report, rise in demand for telecom/mobile backhaul will be a key driver for market growth. The FSS market is experiencing a significant growth from telecom/mobile backhaul. Mobile backhaul ensures the transportation of data and voice distributed network sites to the network core. Earlier, mobile operators did not entirely embrace satellite technology for backhaul, but with advances in satellite technology, they are now more flexible in its use.

Further, the report states that the remainder of the contract price is in the form of an incentive payment based on the orbital performance of the satellite. Thus, the high capital expenditure involved in developing, manufacturing, launching, and insuring a satellite will be a challenge for the growth of the market over the next few years.
